Manitoba Passenger Trains to be at
Assinahoine Soon-Low Rates
for Passengers.

Fort BENTON, September 3.-The Rsu-
err Press says: The following letter was
received by one of our citizens to-day
from C. Fl. Warren, general passenger
agent of the Manitoba:
"The construction department advise me
that the track will be at Belknap Septem-
Der 5,SAssinaboine September Is, and at
Fort Benton October 5. 1t is probable
that by the time the rails reach Benton
we will have regular passenger trains run
ming through to Assinaboine. / give you
below the approximate rates from points
named. When We get the rails laid and
know just where the stations will be, the
rate may vary 90 or % cents. Benton to
st. Paul, $44; Assinaboine to St. Paul,
S40.55; Be1knap to St. Paul, $39.10. We
do not sell tickets to st. Paul from any
point west of that to which We are operat-
ing passenger trains. For instance: West
OF Buford parties are only able to buy
tickets to Buford and then repurchase
from that place to St. Paul. The rate
from Great Falls to ST Paul will be $46.25
and from Helena to st. Paul SOL
LAAAiS ~ o~Ns
Mr.. A. G. Clifford arrived from the end
of the track Wednesday night. He says
that when he left, Tuesday moor, it was
about opposite Belknap and within,a as near
as he could judge, a mile and a half Of
the third crossing of Milk river. The piles
for the bridge had been driven and the
pile drivers were from eight to twelve
miles this side of the river. According to
this the rails on the Both were within 100
miles of Benton. Mr.. Clifford says that
they are laying from four and a half to
five miles of track steadily every working
day. If they keep up this rate and get IN
only twenty working days the end of the
track will reach here this month.
The above passenger rates, $46.25, i'm
plies a large saving to people travelling
between Great Falls and st. Paul. At
present the stage coach fare, $3.50, and
the railroad fare from Helena, $51.O0
make the cost of the trip $63.50, without
making any allowance for the heavy stage
charges for extra baggage and other in
cidental expenses. As regards time there
will be a saving of about 4S hours in favor
of the Great Falls and Minot route. The
passenger who leaves here on. say Monday,
will arrive in St. Paul by the Manitoba
route on Wednesday, while by the stage
and Helena route, he would be only be-
ginning the railroad journey at Helena
on Wednesday, and would not be in st.
Paul until Friday. In freight charges
the gain to Great Falls will be immense.

LOCAL OPINION.
The Progress OF the Cascade County
Bill Watched Eagerly-What
People in General Say.

The changes in the Cascade county bill
were considerably discussed last evening.
Some surprise,was expressed that the new
officers had been named in the bill and
that two county commissioners had been
substituted for the others with whom the
public were we'll pleased. 1t was felt that
the changes must have been deemed ex-
pedient by the friends of the bill and that
the choice of officers is Of small import
ance compared with the benefits of home
rule and light expenses, which the success
of the bill ensures. 1t is deemed a good
thing to have the county machinery ready
for work, and it is believed that the ap-
pointment of officers is fair and will result
in harmony among all parts of the new
county. AS regards the commissioners,
1t is conceded that Mr.. Wegner, whe is al
ready a county commissioner for ChOteau
is we'll qualified to look out for the local
interests of this city and Sun River, while
Messrs. Harris and Wall are thoroughly
acquainted with the affairs of Neagher,
where one ssMr. WalD is already a COM
missioner. The sheriff, George STEEL, is
well known to old-timers as an honorable,
capable man, who once possessed consid-
cradle property. He resides at Sun River
and was opposed to the proposed county
at the last session, but it is understood
that he will now work heartily for the
general welfare as soon as the bill passed
and goes into effect. It is believed that
Richard T. Gorham will make an efficient
assessor. He is we'll known throughout
the limits of the new county and is con-
versant with the value of property there
in. Miss Bessie Ford the superintendent
of public school instruction already holds
that office in Meagher county, which is
accepted as proof that she is well qualif-
ed for the position. The other officers are
we'll known throughout the new county
and will command popular support, al
though some persons have other prefer
ences based on party or personal grounds.
People will be able to make q new deal
if they choose next year, when the gener-
al election will be held.

OPPOSITION TO THE BILL.

BUTTE, September "a Helena special
to the Miner says: The Cascade county
bill was rushed through the council yes
terday morning in great shape. Thus far
no one in the house or on the outside
seems to take any interest in the matter,
but I am assured by those who know, that
when the time arrives there will be a bit
ter and vigorous opposition. a member
tonight informs me that the people OF
Fort Benton are 10Y en- route with facts,
figures, petitions and protests against the
act. Altogether, I think there will be
some fun.
A BOGUS LIST OF NAMES.
The great Sun River p rsmonstrance
against the new county, from the Choteau
county side, has exactly thirty-eight sig
natures and of these only thirteen are
known to be tax payers. Most of the 9th
ers are entirely unknown to residents of
Sun river who have lived there many
years. Some of the alleged signers live at
Choteau and other places remote from the
limits of Cascade county. Most of the
thirteen tax payers whose N are ap-
pended to the remonstrance would be glad
to have the new county created if they
felt certain that the taxes would not be
heavier than at present, which will be the
ease. 1t is well known that the Sun Riv-
er remonstrance sent to the legislature last
session was padded out with bogus names,
and was in effect fraudulent. This time
like lodges are being repeated.

Correspondence of the Beacon
WASHINGTON, Feb. 90, 1887.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 90, 1887.
Messrs Editors:-These are busy
days in Washington. Congress is hur-
rying through with its business, and
the citizens are busy making ready for
the National Drill to be held here in
the coming May, Most of the States
have notified the officers in charge of
the enterprise that they will send
troops, On Thursday the adjutant
general of the State Of Kentucky was
here completing arrangements for the
Kentucky troops. He states that all
the State troops would come, among
them being a battalion of artillery,
1t will be the biggest show that the
city has had for many year, and will
outrival the famous review ofthe Army
of Virginia held at the close Of the
war, and which was more than two
days in passing given point. If the
coming drill be not as large in num-
bers as the review, it will far excel it
in the variety and brightness of the
uniforms worn. Already applications
are coming in to the hotels by pros
pective spectators for rooms. The
soldiers will encamp on the wide ex-
psnse of grounds south of the Execu-
tive Mansion and west of the Capitol,
and overlooking the beautiful Potomac
into old Virginia. Washington is in
the height of its beauty in May, and
the soldier boys will have a most de-
lightful time in their raid upon the
Capitol of their country.
Congress never worked harder than
it is working now, and o strenuous eff
fort will be made to pass all bills Of a
private character on the calendar and
not objected to. Up to Friday most
of the time was consumed in consider
ing bills of a public nature. More of
such bills will receive consideration,
but now all barriers have been thrown
down and bills will be railroaded
through Until Friday single OBJ
lection to calling up a bill out Of its
Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1887-03-03

regular order would prevent its con-
sideration. From that time, however,
the rules were suspended, and whoever
could get the recognition of the Speak
er would gee his private bill up for
action. A limit of three minutes for
and three minutes against any bill was
fixed for debate, and that practically
put the hills to a vote Immediately
after reading the report of the COM
mittee' Thursday was one ofthe most
exciting days OF the session, the ques-
ton of passing the dependent pension
bill over the veto being the special
order Of the day. The House met at
II o'clock and nearly an hour before
that time the majority of the members
were present preparing for the contest.
The excited groups in many parts Of
the House chamber showed the i'm
portance of the struggle and the doubt
that hung over the final effort. The
speeches after the House convened
were many and acrimonious, Gen.
Bragg of Mississippi, in particular be-
ing extremely severe in his criticisms
of the provisions Of the bill. The veto
was sustained by a vote of l75 to pass
the bill over the veto to 1875 against,
the constitutional two.thirds not vot-
ing in favor Of the bill; and the veto
was the sole topic discussed in the
hotel lobbies the night after it was
taken.
The House will unquestionably pass
the bill with the Senate amendments
providing for the Department Of Agri-
culture and Labor, to which the Sig
nal Service will be transferred. 1t.
seems to be equally certain that Com
missioner Colman, at present chief of
the Agriculture Bureau, will be made
Secretary of the New Department.
1t is believed, too, that the Senate
will agree to the House amendments
to the fisheries retaliation bill, and
that the President will be in a position
to protect our interests and compel
observance of our rights by the time
the fishery season opens, which will
be shortly after the adjournment Of
Congress.
At this writing it is impossible to
say who is the coming Secretary of the
Treasury. 1t is very generally con-
coded that Speaker Carlisle was offer
ed the position, and upon mature con-
sideration he de, lined it. The Speak
err has his eye on the Presidency, and
does not care to accept an office so
close to the President as to interfere
with his freedom TO act as he thinks
best to get the nomination. Again,
Carlisle has very pronounced ideas on
the tariff question, and rather than
modify them, even to the extent to
voice the Presidents modified views
on the question, he would prefer to
decline the high honor of presiding
over the Treasury portfolio. II.
